General Discussion - Im all in this league - new PC - Forum

So I have always built my PC in the past and this one I have now is about 5 years old and always said I would upgrade as I went along but never did. So I decided to get a new computer as this new league starts, going on a cruise Monday morning and just put it my order thru Build Redux because I didnt want to bother putting it together myself. I usually dont make big purchases like this just for myself. image upload Last edited by Stormswa on Jul 20, 2024, 8:28:16 PM Last bumped on Jul 27, 2024, 7:45:13 AM	Posted by Stormswa on Jul 20, 2024, 8:20:25 PM Quote this Post

You're supposed to make upgrades every new league. Pre-built rigs are meh. When I've seen preinstalled Win 11 I couldn't resist not to laugh.	Posted by cursorTarget on Jul 21, 2024, 12:57:51 AM Quote this Post

No. Every five years, which is how OP said it's been since last upgrade? Probably not a bad cadence. And not everybody is ready to graduate from padawan to full jedi - I bought pre-builts for years before building my latest. Q: How long have you been running Linux? You were sneering at Win11, so I'm just assuming you have a favourite distro. OP, pay no mind to any nay-sayers. You have fun with your new PC. Remember, remember the 6th of December...

why dont you go with 7 7800X3D? the best cpu right now while intel is a scam heats up far more and draws far more power too Last edited by Gopstop22 on Jul 21, 2024, 1:23:24 AM	Posted by Gopstop22 on Jul 21, 2024, 1:23:06 AM Quote this Post

Do yourself a favor and do not get that CPU. Intel's high end 13th/14th gen has serious issues with unusual fast degrading chips. No joke, look it up. You're better off getting yourself a 7800X3D. Or 7950X3D, if you really need that many cores. Last edited by Ulsarek on Jul 21, 2024, 1:57:44 AM	Posted by Ulsarek on Jul 21, 2024, 1:56:57 AM Quote this Post
